As we head further into 2022 after the December release of Halo Infinite, players have one question about Microsoft’s signature franchise: What exactly is happening next?
Of course, you’ll notice that this tweet was on February 1, and it’s now February 23, and we have no further updates on the roadmap or what’s coming next.
I don’t think that Halo Infinite can really afford to operate like Cyberpunk 2077 here and just surprise people with huge updates that are dropped alongside livestreams announcing them. This is supposed to be a live game, and those titles follow regimented schedules where players always have something to look forward to. And right now, past talk about co-op and forge mode is not enough, especially without firm dates attached to even those.
What it feels like to me is that both on the multiplayer and single player side, 343 needed every bit of time, including that extra year delay, to ensure the base game made it out on time and intact. There wastime to work seriously on post-launch content to support the game in its immediate aftermath, and now they have to start from behind in order to get more stuff out there.
